How Can I Move My Website to Netlify Without Losing SEO Traffic?
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to migrate my website, https://www.marriagebiodatahub.com, from Hostinger to Netlify and would appreciate some advice from anyone who has gone through a similar migration.
The website is already receiving organic traffic from Google, and my biggest concern is preserving my existing SEO rankings and avoiding any significant traffic loss during the move.
My questions are:
-
What is the safest migration process to minimize downtime?
-
Should I lower the DNS TTL before switching the domain?
-
Are there any Netlify-specific settings I should configure before pointing the domain?
-
How can I ensure that all existing URLs continue to work correctly after the migration?
-
Is there anything I should do in Google Search Console before or after the migration?
-
Are there any common mistakes that could negatively impact indexing or rankings?
The application itself won’t change significantly—I’m mainly changing the hosting provider from Hostinger to Netlify.
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has successfully migrated a production website to Netlify while maintaining their SEO performance and traffic. Any tips or lessons learned would be very helpful.
Thank you!
